- Overall dimensions;
- Accessories;
- Container volume;
- Interchangeable nozzles;
- Safety;

The amount of processed products directly depends on the volume of the container. The greater its capacity, the more productive the device. In the composition of the materials from which the slicing devices are made, there are alloys of aluminum and food stainless steel. These materials do not oxidize and do not react with food.
Before deciding which company is the best to choose the device, you need to know the size of the funnel in which the food is loaded.

The device is designed for large volumes of products. The working chamber of the device is made in the form of a cylinder, into which the products fall after passing through a funnel. The mechanism when turned on drives the cutting parts of the structure. Chopped ingredients are discharged into a collection tank.
In case of overheating, the device automatically turns off. This feature of the technique for fruits and vegetables makes it safe to use. Electric grater will make thin shavings, the shredding attachment will prepare cabbage in a few minutes, and cottage cheese will acquire the condition of a homogeneous puffy mass.
